“We know very well what we want to understand.”
Leaving a life of privilege to hit out on her own, Lauren Durough breaks with convention and her family’s goals by choosing circumstances school over Stanford and earning her own income over receiving her ample monthly allowance. She takes a part-time job from 83-year-old librarian Abigail Boyles, who asks Lauren to transcribe the journal entries of her ancestor Mercy Hayworth, a victim of the Salem witch tests.
Almost immediately, Lauren sees herself drawn to this female who resided and passed on four centuries before. As the fervor throughout the witch accusations rises, Mercy becomes trapped in the worldview of your day, unable to struggle the overwhelming influence of snap judgments and superstition, and Lauren realizes that the secrets of Mercy’s account extend beyond the web pages of her diary, living on in the incomprehensible, embittered Abigail.
The power of her affinity with Mercy causes Lauren to take a startling new look at her own life, including her human relationships with Abigail, her school roommate, and a man called Raul. But on the path to the truth, will Lauren find herself participating in the helpless defendant or the misguided judge? Can she liberate from her own perceptions and find out who she really is?
